A.Dear Sir,
The Supreme Court formulated the following formula for calculating alimony.
================================================================================================
Supreme Court sets alimony benchmark: 25% of ex-husband’s net salary
The Supreme Court has set a benchmark for maintenance to be paid by a husband to his estranged wife, stating that 25% of his net salary might constitute a "just and proper" amount as alimony.
A bench of Justices R Banumathi and M M Santanagoudar made the observation while directing a resident of West Bengal's Hoogly, earning Rs 95,527 a month, to set aside Rs 20,000 as maintenance for his former wife and their son, turning down the man's plea that the amount was excessive. The court said the amount of maintenance or permanent alimony must be sufficient to ensure that a woman lived with dignity after separating from her husband.

Its order came on the man's plea challenging a Calcutta high court order directing him to pay her Rs 23,000 per month. Though the apex court said there was nothing amiss in the high court order, it reduced the amount by Rs 3,000 on the ground that the man had remarried and hence needed to provide for his new family.
HOW TO CALCULATE ALIMONY
Dear Madam,
My answers as follows.
1)what is the max alimony I can claim from him?
Ans: The quantum of maintence must be based of SC judgment which says 25% of salary must be maintenance. Thus it must be calculated as follows
Salary Rs.2 lakhs per month
25% comes to Rs.50,000 multiplied by 12 Months = Rs.6 lakhs per year.
If you live for another 20 years it comes to Rs.6 lakhs multiplied by 20 = Rs. 1crore 20 lakhs.
You get total compensation of Rs.1 Crore Rs.20 lakhs.
2)can I ask for a property?
Ans: You have no right over property but its notional income may be added to the salary .

A.Sir, as per your query.

1. You should immediately file for divorce [either mutually or contested]

Coming to your question of maintenance, if the divorce is mutual then the amount of money can be decided mutually by the parties and the court has no say over it. But, however, if the divorce is of contested nature, then, the amount to be paid by the husband to the wife is decided by the court on the basis of

1. Income of the husband
2. Income of the wife
3. Living style of husband and wife
4. Liabilities of husband and wife
5. Payment Capacity

on the basis of which courts fixes an amount to be paid.
Thanks and Regards
